Top 25 Fared

* REVIEW: For the second straight game, the second half belonged to Dickerson, scoring 14 of his 19 points after halftime to help the Wildcats overcome early struggles. The Wildcats won their 14th straight game as well as their 26th straight over the Cougars _ the longest streak in a Pac-10 series. ``Dickerson hurt us tonight,'' Daniel said. ``He hit some `threes' and then Miles hit some `threes.' They pulled away with plays like that, but that's what they do.''
